Ion

Machine learning adapts to your apps and your users to deliver the best digital experience automatically.

Your users demand visually engaging, personalized experiences that are fast on every device, all the time. To deliver on customer expectations, digital businesses craft increasingly complex applications that are loaded with high-res images, videos, personalization, and other third-party content. The outcome can be very costly to optimize, operate, and maintain.

Ion’s intelligent performance automation and controls continuously analyze, optimize, and accelerate web and mobile app experiences so you can focus on what makes you unique. The result is a superior experience for every user, automatically.

“The rise of smartphones and social media has resulted in the diversification of Internet browsing environments used by customers. The introduction of Akamai enables the optimal page to be displayed on each kind of device under a single URL, for more efficient operations.”

What is Ion?

The pressure to deliver great online experiences is higher than ever. Across sites and apps, 53% of visits are abandoned if a mobile site takes more than 3 seconds to load, and 49% of users expect a mobile app to respond within 2 seconds or less. What’s more, 50% of online transactions involve multiple devices. To realize digital success, businesses must always deliver a great experience on every form factor and device, or risk reduced customer satisfaction, brand perception, and revenue opportunities.
